บท 398: The Number One Assassins Guild of the Grand Xia

At the very peak of a grand mountain, there lay an ancient tower.

A gray-robed figure was advancing towards the toward at high speed, like a streak of light.

The entrance to the tower was guarded by a pair of black-armored guards. These two guards stretched out their arms, barring the entrance. One of them growled, "This is a restricted area. No access permitted."

"I've come per the orders of the clan leader. I have important news to report to the Patriarch." The gray-robed man respectfully handed forward a hidebound scroll.

"Mm." One of the guards accepted the scroll, then entered the tower. As for the gray-robed man, he respectfully, quietly departed.

The first floor of the tower. A tall, skinny elder with long, narrow eyes was seated silently in the lotus position; it was Celestial Immortal Arcanum of the Youngflame clan.

"Patriarch." The black-armored warrior entered, saluted respectfully, then offered the scroll with both hands.
